The district wonders why they can't get/keep teachers......the wholesome, smart ones move on because they are not going to deal with the morons and minipulators that are called their supervisors. We are professionals, we do not need to be micro managed. The district hasn't caught on that if they took care of the teachers, they could get more quality individuals into the district merely by word of mouth from their happy teachers. I would highly suggest you don't move to Las Vegas, if you have kids and are concerned about the schools. I would NEVER allow my child to go to a school in Clark County School District. Sadly, we will be moving at the end of this school year.

Ohh for heaven sake...You have worked in 12 other major school systems in the US? You have worked in 5 other schools in Las Vegas? You have surveyed the teachers in a number of major school systems and they all agree that on sensible criteria CCSD sucks?

" ......the wholesome, smart ones move on because they are not going to deal with the morons and minipulators that are called their supervisors. "

YOu think the supervisors in other school systems are different? The word by the way is "manipulator". Perhaps your supervisors prefer teachers who can spell?

It is a middle of the pack school system. The good suburban schools are interchangable with those elsewhere. And no amout of losers venting their spleens is going to change that.

What a strange forum this is...a regular set of assassins working Vegas and Phoenix. What an odd hobby.
